We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The ancient, historical Jesus came full of grace and truth. The modern, mythological Jesus comes full of tolerance and relativism. Even in the church truth is sometimes buried under subjectivism and cowardice, while grace is lost in a sea of permissiveness and indifference. Without truth, we lack courage to speak and convictions to speak about. Without grace, we lack compassion to meet people’s deepest needs. The vast majority of colleges were built with the vision and funding of Christians. Why? To teach truth. Most American hospitals were built with the vision and funding of Christians. Why? To extend grace. We don’t have the luxury of choosing either grace or truth. Yet many believers habitually embrace one instead of the other, according to our temperament, background, church or family. We must learn to say yes to both grace and truth – and say no to whatever keeps us from them.

What gifts have I received? Answer these questions: 1. What can I accomplish with my present abilities? 2. What type of service am I personally drawn to? 3. What have I been educated or trained to do? 4. What gifts do my pastors and church leaders think that I possess? 5. What does my family (who should know me best) think that my gifts are? 6. What specific needs are there in the church body? 7. Have I attempted to use a gift in a certain area and have regularly failed? 8. When have I met with success in attempting to exercise a gift or meet a need in the body? 9. Have I asked my closest friends to honestly help assess where I could most successfully serve?

64:1 \63:20\Gid du sønderrev Himlen og steg ned, så Bjergene vakled for dit Åsyn!\

64:1 \64:1\Som Vokset smelter i Ild, så lad Ild fortære dine Fjender, at dit Navn må kendes iblandt dem, og Folkene bæve for dit Åsyn,

64:2 når du gør Undere, vi ikke vented, du stiger ned, for dit Åsyn vakler Bjergene

64:3 og som ingen Sinde er hørt. Intet Øre har hørt, intet Øje har set en Gud uden dig, som hjælper den, der håber på ham.

64:4 Du ser til dem, der øver Retfærd og kommer dine Veje i Hu. Men se, du blev vred, og vi synded, og skyldige blev vi derved.

64:5 Som urene blev vi til Hobe, som en tilsølet Klædning al vor Retfærd. Vi visnede alle som løvet, vort Brøde bortvejred os som Vinden.

64:6 Ingen påkaldte dit Navn, tog sig sammen og holdt sig til dig; thi du skjulte dit Åsyn for os og gav os vor Brøde i Vold.

64:7 Men du, o HERRE, er dog vor Fader, vi er Leret, og du har dannet os, Værk af din Hånd er vi alle.

64:8 Vredes ej, HERRE, så såre, kom ej evigt Brøde i Hu, se dog til, vi er alle dit Folk!

64:9 Dine hellige Byer er Ørk, Zion er blevet en Ørk, Jerusalem ligger i Grus;

64:10 vort hellige, herlige Tempel, hvor Fædrene priste dig, er blevet Luernes Rov, en Grushob er alt, hvad vi elskede.

64:11 Ser du roligt HERRE, på sligt, kan du tie og bøje os så dybt?
